Showing People of Color How to Make Responsible Decisions

Woman of Honor-November (1 of 3)

Were you thinking what I was thinking? Of course, you don’t know what I was thinking. Let me tell you: When I watched “Black Girls Rock,” I thought of all the girls and women that I know who absolutely rock! I was motivated by them to start my new series, “Woman of Honor”! I plan to alternate this series with my “Man of Honor,” “Entrepreneur of the Month,” “Trailblazer of the Month,” and “Trendsetter of the Month” series.

The media is fraught with negative images that might lead viewers to believe that many of the women among us are not worthy of honor! I will continue to counter these stereotypes with positive portrayals. The featured women of honor will include entertainers as well as leaders in other industries, and I hope that they will inspire you. Singer and entertainer Mary Griffin is the first “Woman of Honor”!

“With a powerfully unique voice and a definitive sound, Mary Griffin consistently delivers soul stirring performances that captivate audiences around the world. Using her past as a spring board, Mary channels memories into melodies that are proud and strong. Her rich melodic sound and exciting performance style are rooted in the story of a pastor’s daughter with a passion for singing good music.”

According to Billboard Magazine, “Mary Griffin displays the vocal prowess, attitude and range of a true ingenue.” Not only is Mary an amazing singer, but she was “even featured in the movie Studio 54 where she portrayed the artist Amy Stewart.” I appreciate Mary Griffin for accepting my invitation to be the “Woman of Honor” for November 2013. Next week, you will learn who has contributed to Mary Griffin’s success. What do you think of this series?
